While our summer festivities may look a bit different this year, there are still plenty of options for getting outside while keeping sustainability and responsible social distancing in mind.
Compost
- Explore composting food scraps (corn cobs, watermelon rinds, vegetable peels, etc.) at home.
- If the option is available in your area, drop food scraps off at a local food scraps drop-off spot. Find a food scraps drop off facility near you! Always check with your food scraps drop-off facility on what they can and cannot accept before making the trip.
